Don\u2019t leave! River & Terran have combined three ball-shaped activities to keep you fully entertained.  First, they create their very own DIY bouncy balls, complete with bounce testing.  Then, they review the popular boba tea from Spokane\u2019s Poke Express.  Finally, they take their own approach to tea and pearls with Homemade Boba Tea!    Boba Tea: Did you Know?   Although the tweens and teens (like us!) are claiming this tea as something of our own generation, it was really something that some of our parents could have enjoyed.  Of course, they wouldn\u2019t have had the huge selection of boba sellers that we have today (there are five in Spokane, that we know of). Still, this tea was something that was created in the 1980s, and a trip to East Asia at the time likely would have resulted in taste testing the tapioca pearls.  Although we approve of boba tea as it is today, there were some varieties - like those containing red beans and grass jelly - that we believe weren\u2019t meant to survive.    Bouncy Balls   Why make bouncy balls?  It felt like the perfect thing to pair with boba tea.  Don\u2019t you agree.  DIY bouncy balls are an easy, and satisfying craft that you can make at home with very few ingredients - Borax soap, white glue, water, and cornstarch!  Here\u2019s a recipe. Homemade Boba Tea  Ingredients 4T tap water 1 cup of muscovado sugar (which is light brown sugar)  Boba pearls (we made our own, but you can get some here) black tea 1 and \u00bd cup of oat milk  ice   Directions Combine water and brown sugar Place over low heat and add boba pearls Use the brown sugar syrup mixture to line the glass and fill the bottom Add a few ice cubes, gently Pour tea and milk over ice Enjoy!   Show us how your boba tea turns out!
